    Dear Barry,

    If you return to find your Humax on (blue light) then this would indicate that the unit was not placed into standby.

    Please note that the Humax box can display a red light when recording a program and still be ''on''.

    They just do not get it that the fault is there in the box.

    Tell them the box starts recording from low power sby (or normal sby whichever you are using) - (provided you are sure it starts in sby, remember the box can be accidentally booted by using other Humax remotes), and fails to return to low power sby after recording completes and remains fully booted..

    If left for 3 hrs (with auto sby enabled). does it still stay on ?

    I don't think support have grasped that the unit is being switched on by another remote.

    and

    Just to be clear barryiow, if your unit has been switched on by another remote it will not go into standby after completing a timer, only after 3 hours if you have 'auto power down' set to on.

    What remote codes have you set units to so they are not supposed to interfere with one another....

    Press and hold 0 (zero) and OK together on one of the units, with the other off, should display an on screen detailing the remote code currently in use.

    OK I set them both again today, making sure only the one being set was plugged in.

    Fox T2 is set to 1

    FVP 4000T is set to 6

    I have now decided to separate the FVP 4000T & the Fox T2 into different rooms & TV's.
    Both boxes are connected to the internet via my CH6643E Rooter.
    Should I be able to see & play from one box the programmes on the other?

    The FVP-4000T should see all of the recordings on the HDR-FOX T2, but will only play the SD ones. The HDR-FOX T2 should see all of the recordings on the FVP-4000T, but will not play any of them.

    Is it understood why the HDR-FOX T2 won't play them?
